It was the first time we had used a dog sitter. Felt reassured after meeting Nathan before the booking. Just picked Bleu up and he was a happy contented dog and I’m sure if he could talk he would only say nice things. Will be using Nathan again

Allana is such a caring person. We booked her at the last minute and nothing was too much trouble for her. Our dog Poppy is only 4 months old so quite a handful, but Allana was great with her and she thoroughly enjoyed her stay. She sent us regular photos and updates each day too which was lovely. We would definitely recommend Allana and will be using her again in the future.

Jackie has been a total godsend! Jaya is a unique dog and Jackie just tuned into her and gave her exactly what she needed with no fuss, straight away. Jackie clearly is someone who just makes things work whatever the situation. Thoroughly trustworthy and really kind. I am so grateful and I hope she is now Jaya's official Aunty/Godmother.

Once I met Kirsty, I knew Abraham would be looked after and it really put me at ease. I had regular contact and updates, Abe looked right at home when we picked him up, and didn’t look like he wanted to come home. Thank you to Kirsty and her family for accommodating him, I hope to use you again in the future! ❤️

Our tiny rather nervous boy had the very best calm and understanding care. We are very confident in Sam and Catherine to have Max stay over again. 🐾

About: Having recently lost our very special boy Bob (pictured) we have made to decision to offer our home to your beloved doggy. I will provide a calm and loving environment for your special one, giving you the peace of mind you need whilst away. I live in a spacious terraced house with an enclosed garden and we are just 1 minute from the sea and 5 minutes from two country parks, and i love walking. I work from home, so will be here for your pet constantly. As stated, we love walking so will give your pet at least twice a day, or to fit into their regular regime. I will care for your dog as if he was our own. I will allow the pet on our furniture to smuggle up to us in the evening, if that fits into their normal behaviour.

Kim and family made Pepper one of the family which was evident when I picked her up as we were talking outside Pepper was not hesitant on making her way back inside the house. Pictures were kindly provided showing how settled she was. Always a good sign that she was very happy staying with Kim. Pictures were kindly provided showing how settled she was. Looking forward to placing Pepper again with Kim.

Jasper could not have been in better hands staying with Claire. She kept me updated with numerous photos during his stay & he was obviously happy & contented with her & her other dogs. She was very sensitive to his needs & he returned a very chilled & happy dog. I can not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Claire

About: I have taken care of dogs since i can remember. Including training my own and looking after her. I also have experience looking after other dogs that are not my own for weeks at a time. I am a master’s student so have a large amount of very flexible free time. My days mostly consist of me working at home at my desk. I have a fenced in garden and will look after your dog as if it is my own. I am pretty much always available on my phone for any updates or instructions you may wish for.

From the moment Donna opened her door I knew my old spaniel Lulu would be in good hands. A warm welcome, good communication throughout the stay and a happy dog on my return. Couldn’t ask for more! Many thanks.

Jessie had a lovely couple of days staying with Angela. She visited the beach, walked in the woods and visited Beer. Angela was very keen to look after her and listened carefully to all of our care advice. I would definitely recommend Angela to look after your dog. Thanks again 😀

1st time using Rover app and found lovely Tianna nice and close to me. Tianna is an obvious dog lover, very natural, warm and caring. At our meet and greet she was straight in with cuddles and treats. our two stayed 2 nights with Tianna and her partner. i was sent regular updates and videos and they were taken both days to an enclosed field so they could have lovely off the lead run and play. Our two loved their time there and slept all evening once home! highly recommend.

I can highly recommend Erin, she was wonderful with my dog. It was a huge relief to find someone last minute that I could trust. I visited a couple of days before so our dogs could meet, which was really reassuring. Erin had my dog for a week and sent pics regularly of all the wonderful walks she took her on. Her dog was absolutely lovely too. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a lovely time. Thank you!

Holly was amazing with our pups, Bailey and Chispa! She kept in touch throughout the night which gave us so much peace of mind. Her garden setup is perfect for dogs to run around and play, and she also took them on some really lovely walks. Bailey and Chispa were so happy and relaxed with both Holly and her partner Nelson, we could tell they were really well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Holly again and highly recommend her!
